Husband is losing his job

Not that it is really a big deal, but more irritating. They had their "big" meeting today. Rumors have been going around that the location he works at will be relocated. The company stated two weeks ago that they don't address "rumors". My husband heard the "rumor" from a reputable source so we pretty much knew it was true. Basically he works with a company that has a contract with General Motors to provide their customer service, legal division, and a few other services. So it was confirmed at the meeting today that their location is closing and they are moving some of it to Canada, Argentina, and the Phillippines. No reason was given other than "business purposes". They supposedly don't know when the move will take place, but they will be given 60-day's notice and if they stay until the end, they will get a whopping $1000 bonus that is taxed at around 30% or so. My husband has been with them for 7 years, but this company just took over the contract on January 1st so they aren't offering severance. My husband asked what made them decide to move out of the United States and their reply was that GM was a "Global Company". He promptly advised them they should change their motto to "Global Revolution" then instead of "American Revolution".
